🇪🇸 Spain clarifies Crypto: Self-custody is NOT reportable via Modelo 721! The Spanish Tax Agency (AEAT) updated its reporting FAQs. If YOU control your private keys (self-custody), your crypto assets abroad are EXEMPT from Modelo 721. Reporting is ONLY required if: 1️⃣ Private keys are held by a 3rd party custodian. 2️⃣ That custodian is NOT a Spanish tax resident or has no permanent establishment in Spain. Threshold: This applies to Spanish tax residents whose total overseas crypto assets exceed €50,000 on Dec 31st. This brings clarity for self-custodied digital asset holders in Spain. #crypto #Spain #tax #regulations #blockchain #bitcoin #ethereum

GoPlus Security attributes Bitget's $387.5 million exploit to a compromised signature trust chain rather than a private key leak. The analysis reveals attackers infiltrated key backend systems to forge transaction data, enabling Bitget's own authorization process to generate valid signatures for unauthorized transfers.

The security firm has blacklisted the attacker's addresses and shared this information with ecosystem partners. GoPlus also identified a structural risk in the signature chain, similar to a 2025 Bybit incident.
